Her softball teammates walked through all the bases as a show of support, carrying her jersey number 3, then placed her cleats on home plate, for one last time.
"She always wanted to have a home run, so we gave her the home run," said her close friend, Trinity Gonzales.
Gonzales led the pack and shared an emotional speech with the crowd at the vigil on Tuesday.
"She would always pick my spirits up when I was mad and sad. She was always there for me. She was that person. She was the light of the team," Gonzales said.
